|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Inspired by [MailCatcher](http://mailcatcher.me/), easier to install.
|
|
|
|
* Download and run MailHog
|
|
* Configure your outgoing SMTP server
|
|
* View your outgoing email in a web UI
|
|
* Release it to a real mail server
|
|
|
|
Built with Go - MailHog runs without installation on multiple platforms.
|
|
|
|
### Overview
|
|
|
|
MailHog is an email testing tool for developers:
|
|
|
|
* Configure your application to use MailHog for SMTP delivery
|
|
* View messages in the web UI, or retrieve them with the JSON API
|
|
* Optionally release messages to real SMTP servers for delivery
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
#### Manual installation
|
|
[Download the latest release for your platform](/docs/RELEASES.md). Then
|
|
[read the deployment guide](/docs/DEPLOY.md) for deployment options.
|
|
|
|
#### MacOS
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew update && brew install mailhog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, start MailHog by running `mailhog` in the command line.
|
|
|
|
#### Debian / Ubuntu
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get -y install golang-go
|
|
go get github.com/mailhog/MailHog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, start MailHog by running `/path/to/MailHog` in the command line.
|
|
|
|
E.g. the path to Go's bin files on Ubuntu is `~/go/bin/`, so to start the MailHog run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
~/go/bin/MailHog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

#### sendmail
|
|
|
|
[mhsendmail](https://github.com/mailhog/mhsendmail) is a sendmail replacement for MailHog.
|
|
|
|
It redirects mail to MailHog using SMTP.
|
|
|
|
You can also use `MailHog sendmail ...` instead of the separate mhsendmail binary.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use your native `sendmail` command by providing `-S`, for example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/usr/sbin/sendmail -S mail:1025
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example, in PHP you could add either of these lines to `php.ini`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sendmail_path = /usr/local/bin/mhsendmail
|
|
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -S mail:1025
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Web UI
